Anaglyph 3D

Description
Anaglyph 3D in Gmod!
Always thought you weren't immersed enough into Gmod? Don't have the money for a vr headset? Have I got the solution for you! You can now play Gmod in 'true' 3D with the most advanced technology from the 80s: Anaglyph 3D[en.wikipedia.org]! The only thing you need are cheap red/cyan glasses!

This is not just a chromatic aberration effect! Anaglyph 3D works by rendering the scene twice (once for each eye) from slightly different camera angles to simulate how our eyes perceive depth. The two images are then filtered through red and cyan channels and combined into a single frame. When viewed through red/cyan glasses, each eye sees only one of the images, creating a true stereoscopic 3D effect. Unlike chromatic aberration addons, which simply shift colors around object edges to fake depth without actually rendering from two perspectives.
Because the scene is rendered twice, expect your FPS to be roughly cut in half!

Note: Without glasses, the image will appear blurry or have ghosting colors, this is normal

How to use
YOU NEED RED/CYAN GLASSES TO SEE THE EFFECT!
Those cheap plastic ones work as well as the fancy ones.

Find the effect here: Spawnmenu -> Post-proces -> GuuscoNL's Post Process -> Anaglyph 3D

The effect comes with customizable settings:

I knew I forgot something, thanks for reminding!
Added it just now.

i think it'd be good if you added that preset function that other post processing effects have, that allow you to reset settings to default, or create your own presets

10/10 found myself using one eye to aim. Would be neat if there was a mode that made the game generally black and white.

Theater 3D glasses use polarization, which means each lens blocks light that's angled a certain way and that needs a special screen to work. Anaglyph 3D just overlays red and cyan images, and the glasses filter the colors so each eye sees a different image, creating the 3D effect. So unfortunately, theater glasses won’t work with this.

Would it be possible to make this work with movie theater 3D glasses? I have some leftover from my last visit and it'd be nice for those to work too since they're in proper color.
